🇺🇸 Sen. Warren:
"The success of AI should belong to all of us. It’s time to tax AI and invest in people."
Spoken like a true Socialist. She's never met a tax she didn't like.
The Zionist Organization of America is having a major meltdown over New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani’s decision to boycott the annual Israeli Day Parade.
Mamdani also says he won’t visit Israel, which the ZOA claims is required.
“Every single mayor has marched in the event, and Mamdani says he won’t.”
"If you have ambitions to be a Professor at Yale, Harvard, or one of these big institutions, the way you do that is mostly by getting funding for research. It's by getting a lot of publishing - a lot flying around the world to talk about something. You need all of these things to bolster your reputation as an international expert in this area.
Now, the best way to do that, at least in psychiatry but I suspect in other areas of medicine, is actually to collaborate with pharmaceutical companies to run clinical trials. They write the publications for you - most of it, they do a lot of the grunt work, they give you the protocols, and then, essentially, they fund you and fly you around the place.
I used to remember, as a junior doctor, looking up to the Professors. And they would say, 'These drugs are safe and effective. There's not a lot of problems there.'
...What I've seen more and more is that they've been compromised, and that they have incentives tied to the money and to career advancement. That means that they can't be as forthright as they ought to be about these things.
And it's gotten to a problem where these are the Professors who are training the doctors who are setting the tone for what is acceptable care out there. And I think that's one of the biggest problems out there." - @taperclinic
The people cheering on the arrest & deportation of a lawful permanent citizen for protesting don’t realize that they could be targeted next for their political views. Tread carefully. Either you support free speech or you don’t.
NEW: ICE is hunting for Yunseo Chung, a Columbia student who attended pro-Palestine protests. Chung came to the US from Korea with her family at age 7, and was her high school's valedictorian. She's a lawful permanent resident. Here's what we know so far. 🧵
⚠️TW: Decapitated heads, rotting corpses, hacked bodies, skeletal remains discovered in the “Netzarim corridor” after the IDF withdrew today
Israelis soldiers barbecued, played football & threw parties in that same corridor, right next to piles of Gazans they savagely murdered! https://t.co/MY8tALy7ai
Please complete this sentence: "Instead of physically attacking the abusive plutocrats who expand their wealth and power by ruining lives and killing people, ordinary citizens should use the other options that are available to them to address such injustices, such as ________."
Just remember that the same people who are upset over the shooting of a greedy CEO are the same people who have been cheering on the genocide of thousands innocent women and children in Palestine. Clearly our society prioritizes white lives over brown.
It should be illegal to force homeless people to relocate. If a rich neighborhood is the best place to sleep rough then the rich should be forced to look at a daily reminder of the dystopia they live in until the underlying problems which cause homelessness have been fixed. You shouldn't be allowed to hide such things to make people comfortable.
All the laws designed to criminalize homelessness and force the unhoused to relocate are just one more way our dystopia hides its abuses and contradictions from public view, the same as propaganda and internet censorship and murdering Palestinian journalists. They want the homeless out of sight and out of mind in the same way their wars and genocides are out of sight and out of mind.
They just want the homeless to go "away", because they can't fix the injustices and inequality which causes homelessness without upending the power structure they rule. They wish all the symptoms of poverty and injustice in our society could be hidden on the other side of vast oceans like their wars are.
